  • A 5 deg C increase in temp caused RNS testing to go from normal results to a 44% drop
  • "Changes by only 2 degrees C influence neuromuscular transmission to a significant extent"

I'm really astounded at the impact of temperature. In fact I'm learning that being just a little colder than what I usually consider comfortable is a huge help.

and my family thinks I'm nuts when I adjust the ac/heat by just "one more degree".....
